She draw her hair up from her warm seek and pinned in a ringletted knot on her crown she put a sleeved and hi necked apron—made by herself for purpese—over her blue woollen gown, and proceeded gravely to tarn her back to Bernhardt, who, obedient to the signal, buttoned it. Standing with her arm* folded and her plump meditative iaoe fUll of the day's project*, she might have been mistaken for the sculptor's little daughter, with bis rapt expression her youth and when she tuick kiss, it seemed the lutiful expression of ber

I vices with a natural and tfi thanks.

She had a table, and .a plentiful supply of clay quite to herself, and if the artist smiled at tbeardor with which she plunged into it be oould but own that I her broad temple and forehead gave in dicfttions of talent for any pursuit she might undertake and as time went by ber persevering efforts proved that the talent was thore. At first sbe was ftxll of questions and animation, but perceiving quickly bow frowns of annoyance grew out on tbe face of the sculptor intent on his own piece, she learned to reserve her questions till his leisure times—to tiptoe away to bis library and consult books for tbe information sbe wanted, and to conform herself to all bis habits of work. 80 they passed hours of silent effort together, and if Jaequeline grew too full of delight to contain it all heraolf, sbo let it overllo win stealthy whispers upon the images fashioned by ber band.

Oh, you little cumin* toad!" she would murmur to a band or a nose "you're just as cute as you can be!" or to a refractory subject, "Now, there ain't any use bangin' off aud protendiu' I can't make you, for you know I willl (Joino out then, you thumbnail, or I'll prick the plaster till you bleed!" Her own creations wore so real to her that sho began to look upon Earnhardt's Psyche with Yital interest a* a living woman struggling through the clay and often sbe could not forbear giving it her wbolo attention and standing near ita creator, as if to add ber entire stock of arm, brain, and skill to bis, aud thus

to fascllUato its release. Vliton* sometimes broke tho wann and quiet periods of their formations and inundated the studio with a sea of talk nnrl then Jacquelino was regarded with some curiosity by the ladies and much intermit and amusement by tho guntiemen. But she always bore horself sedatcly, and took her station in the front ranks of any squad that formed in eontemptation of the artist's progress,planting liur bawls on tho hips of her immense whilo apron, aud criticizing their art jar arc with attentive ear!

When the day was spent and ber work-—finished with joj'and misgiving, ior left with rogrot—was covered with the cloth of darkness, and her master turned to relax himself from the tension in which he held his powers all day, Jacqueline then took oft her bib and unplnuin« her locks to tlow upon her neck, 'aud burst up like water breaking from a purifying channel undorgroand, full of lauglitor and chatter, so that the eveuing meal was a festival. Her girlish spirit* were a strong tonic to Bernhardt she roused him and rallied him with a -'freedom which her trust in his superior nature made per feet, and a wit wblcli .•always amused him.

'Pluis irom week to week Barnhardt postponed asking her up tho river to his sister aod as her ehildiike ways oontinuaily bound ber to him, and she grew more and more companionable and contented, it did n«t appear to his uneonv»M»tionul mind that no could ever sparo ,fcr taut journey eithor the time or Jaequollue 1 [TO MS COSTINtTKt).]

HOTEL CLERK.

[John Taut at Long liraueh.) Tho hotel olerk I venerate in the abstract, but I am rather afraid to approach him in the concrete. My cxpprioncn to that when he does not snub you ho patronises you, and I'd about as lief be killed one way HS another. Whorn moral character ami that sort of thing tells, I feel pMrtlrular'y at home, but where a man is judged only bv his clothes, confidence tUils he, nnf I am backward about coining forward.

Can I have a room 1 modestly ask after registering my name. Clerk hx»ks at me a moment, takes in the general unosteutstiousness of my apparel at a glance, turns away and attends to the swells who got credit of Bell instead of buying for cash of Porter, chats with tho young men whom ho knows for a few minutes, pauses to tell some old gentleman with a bald head the last brilliant bon mot apropos of tbe Beecber trial, and when everybody else Is roomed and he has settled the pen right behind his ear, then he calls the smallest-bell boy In the ofllce and turns to mo with, "Show this gentleman up to W3!" Ana by this time I feel so hum* bio about it that I bow to the bell-boy and look roond for his bag and wonder how I'm to find No. MM to show him to.

PROFANITY.

Wo are emphatically In tbe age of pro* fknliy, and it seems to us that we are on the topmost current. One cannot go on the streets anywhere without having his leverenco shocked by the most pronme Use of sacred names. Nor does it come from the old or middle-aged alone, for it Is a fket, as alarming as tree, that the younger portion of the community are more proddent In the degrading language. Boys have an Idea it is smart to swear, that it makes them manly but there never was a greater mistake In the world. Men. even those who swear themselves, are disgusted with proflmlty in a young man, because they know how. of all bad habit*, this Ainga the wort closely and Increases with years. it is the most inskluoos of hadlts, grow* on one so invisibly that almost before he is aware be becomes an accomplished curser. Boys should never begin to swear, but if they do—stop!

THE OLD FIH T-LOOK RIFLE.

Extraordinary Marksmanship of an J3Wcrly Virginia Parmer.

[Richmond Whig.]

An elderly man named Beckwith, residing in one of the Peninsula counties, came to this city last Thursday on business. He brought with him an oldfashioned flint-lock rifle to have a stook and lock pat on. On the airs he foil in conversation with a party of three gentlemen from this city, when one of them, to test *ue realty of some of tbe extraordinary feats of markmanship he boasted of, offered him 10 to repeat some of them, to which the other two added $5 between them. The trial came off in an old field half a mile below Rocketts.

Hie old flint-lock was fired seven times and only once missed its aim. The old gentleman, after making two shots at small objects to one side, to get bis band steady, as he said, handed his son a potato and stationed him at fifty yards' distance, holding the potato between bis thumb and forefinger. The rifle cracked and the potato fell cloven in three or four pieces. One of the larger pieces was then thrown into the air. the marksman keeping at the same distance, and again tho shot told. An inch and a halt auger was then produced, and a hole bored in the fence, behind which was fastened a piece of white paper. At the distance of sixty yards the marksman sent a ball clear through tbe aperture, iercing the paper. At tbe fourth shot rom GO yards distance, the bowl of a pipe, which the sou was smoking, was crushed. At the fifth shot a copper cent wns thrown in the air and nit. The sixth and seventh shots wore delivered at a blackencd five-cent nickel piece thrown up by the son. standing about thirty yards off. At the first attempt the shot missed. The old gentleman showed considerable mortification, and laid the blame upon a bystander, who, at the critical moment sneezed loudly The next attempt, however, was an enitlre success. Tho old man declined any farther trials of his skill and when offered a sum of money to repeat his first leat of shooting a potatoe from his son's hand, ho refnsod, saying he didn't care to try such experiments unless his weapon was freshly cleancd. The exhibition was the more remarkable from the fact that the marksman WJIS an old man. at least fifty. His eye, however, is a clear, bright gray. Ills appearance is that of a poor fanner. The young man showed not tbe least tremor or anxiety during the dangerous experiment upon himself. Tho old man, referring to his son, said, "Bob can shoot Just as well as I can."

PLEASANT BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA. [From the Forest wul Stream.)

Reaching at last this most remarkable of all the seas and lakes on our globe, we prepared to take a bath—and such a bath I can hardly expect ever to take again. I had previously bathed in uumerous seas, lakes, a,nd rivers, but never did 1 enjoy such a bath at this. The specific gravity of the water is such from its holding in solution so large a proportion of salt (20XA per cent.), that one floats upon its snrface like a cork. At the time there was only a gentle ripple upon the sea, and being a good swimmer I at once struck out into deep water. 1 soon found that I could not only swim and float with wondorful ease, but that I oould actually walk in tho water, sinking only to the arm-pits. Discovering this fact I made for tho shoro. and taking Dr. C., one of our party, who oould not swim, by the hand, leu him into tbe sea where the water was many fathoms deep. At first he was quite reluctant to follow me, but he soon was ed ad boen an expert swimmer. Should the bather allow the water to jK»t. into his eves or mouth ho would suffer considerable abatemont In his enjoyment on account of its extremely salt, bitter, and irritating nature. No fish can live in this sea, but various kinds of ducks abound here at certain ssasons of the year. The water was as clear as ordinary sea water, its temperature was agreeable, and it has an oily .feeling, aud altogether its notion on the surface of the body wns such as to develop thosu pleasurable sensations pertaining to the sense of tonch, accompanied by tho most delightful exhilaration. Of all the baths in the world give me a bath in tho Dead Sea.

In mother's room there's a chill and a prim air about everything, so different from Its usual look of cosy comfort. bright June sunlight is gleaming through the half-opened blinds, but it does not seem to give warmth or cheer. The toys are broughtoutjbut the children soon,tire of them. There's something gone— they scarce realise what. By and by baby begins to fret, and nurse gets cross. Poor little darling! mamma's pott how tenderer she would haVe soothed would haV» soothed htm with soft lullabys.
